We prove some new log-free density theorems for zeros of Dirichlet L-functions (which accordingly are more sharp than earlier ones near to the boundary line of the critical strip). The results can be applied in several problems of prime…

We prove log-concavity for the function counting partitions without sequences. We use an exact formula for a mixed-mock modular form of weight zero, explicit estimates on modified Kloosterman sums and analytic techniques. Finally, we…

Consider a semi-algebraic set A in R^d constructed from the sets which are determined by inequalities p_i(x)>0, p_i(x)\ge 0, or p_i(x)=0 for a given list of polynomials p_1,...,p_m. We prove several statements that fit into the following…

We classify the polynomials $f(x,y) \in \mathbb R[x,y]$ such that given any finite set $A \subset \mathbb R$ if $|A+A|$ is small, then $|f(A,A)|$ is large. In particular, the following bound holds : $|A+A||f(A,A)| \gtrsim |A|^{5/2}.$ The…

Heilbronn gave a sufficient condition for a number field with a totally ramified prime to fail to be norm-Euclidean. We say that Heilbronn's criterion applies to a polynomial $f$ if it applies to the number field $K=\mathbb{Q}[x]/(f)$…

Let $s$ be the sum-of-digits function in base $2$, which returns the number of $\mathtt 1$s in the base-2 expansion of a nonnegative integer. For a nonnegative integer $t$, define the asymptotic density \[ c_t=\lim_{N\rightarrow \infty}…

We study polynomials with integer coefficients which become Eisenstein polynomials after the additive shift of a variable. We call such polynomials shifted Eisenstein polynomials. We determine an upper bound on the maximum shift that is…

In this paper, we obtain several new classes of irreducible polynomials having integer coefficients whose zeros lie inside an open disk around the origin or outside a closed annular region in the complex plane. Such irreducible polynomials…

Norm forms, examples of which include $x^2 + y^2$, $x^2 + x y - 57 y^2$, and $x^3 + 2 y^3 + 4 z^3 - 6 x y z$, are integral forms arising from norms on number fields. We prove that the natural density of the set of integers represented by a…

Suppose $A$ is a subset of $\{1, \dotsc, N\}$ which does not contain any configurations of the form $x,x+\lfloor n^c \rfloor$ where $n \neq 0$ and $1<c<\frac{6}{5}$. We show that the density of $A$ relative to the first $N$ integers is…

Logarithmic capacity is shown to be minimal for a planar set having $N$-fold rotational symmetry ($N \geq 3$), among all conductors obtained from the set by area-preserving linear transformations. Newtonian and Riesz capacities obey a…

We prove that there is a set of integers $A$ having positive upper Banach density whose difference set $A-A:=\{a-b:a,b\in A\}$ does not contain a Bohr neighborhood of any integer, answering a question asked by Bergelson, Hegyv\'ari, Ruzsa,…

A regularity lemma for polynomials provides a decomposition in terms of a bounded number of approximately independent polynomials. Such regularity lemmas play an important role in numerous results, yet suffer from the familiar shortcoming…

Let D\subseteq \mathbb{R} be closed and discrete and f:D^n \to \mathbb{R} be such that f(D^n) is somewhere dense. We show that (\mathbb{R},+,\cdot,f) defines the set of integers. As an application, we get that for every a,b \in \mathbb{R}…

Let $A_1$ and $A_2$ be randomly chosen subsets of the first $n$ integers of cardinalities $s_2\geq s_1 = \Omega(s_2)$, such that their sumset $A_1+A_2$ has size $m$. We show that asymptotically almost surely $A_1$ and $A_2$ are almost fully…

For $p$ being a large prime number, and $A \subset \mathbb{F}_p$ we prove the following: $(i)$ If $A(A+A)$ does not cover all nonzero residues in $\mathbb{F}_p$, then $|A| < p/8 + o(p)$. $(ii)$ If $A$ is both sum-free and satisfies $A =…

Let A be an algebra whose group of units U(A) satisfies a Laurent polynomial identity (LPI). We establish conditions on these polynomials in such a way that nil-generated algebras and group algebras with torsion groups over infinite fields…

In this paper we suggest new effective criteria for the density property. This enables us to give a trivial proof of the original Anders\'en-Lempert result and to establish (almost free of charge) the algebraic density property for all…

Given $A$ a set of $N$ positive integers, an old question in additive combinatorics asks that whether $A$ contains a sum-free subset of size at least $N/3+\omega(N)$ for some increasing unbounded function $\omega$. The question is generally…

Let $S$ be a finite set, $s=|S|\ge6$. Given a non-negative integer $t$, there exists an inclusion-minimal non-Bondy system $\mathscr{A}$ of size $t$ on $S$ if and only if $s+1\le t\le2s$.
